A nation of special interests
Saturday, October 19, 2013
Well folks. I've read the editorial letters and I listen to people talk and from my point of view, we as Americans are reaping the benefits of our "me first" mantra of the new millennium. We have now reaped the "benefit" of 50% voter turnout in national elections, we are reaping the "benefits" of the "I'm special, dammit" generation and "Uncle Sam needs to take care of me." Sorry, but if you think this country's ills can be place firmly on the shoulders of one political party or one political figure, put your head back in the sand and sprinkle some fairy dust and wish for a solution. Our government is broken!
We have become a nation of special interests, no longer is anyone an American first. Folks are either an African American, a Native American, an Asian American, a gay American or a (fill-in-the blank) American, but what we have become mostly is a huddled mass of entitled Americans. I understand and fully support people keeping and celebrating the values of their native heritage, but if your family has been in this country for more than a generation, you area n American ... period! Be proud of that and turn your efforts to returning to the foundations that made us the beacon of hope for millions of people who came here and worked to make a better life and didn't expect everything to be handed to them. Where people took assistance when they needed it, but worked hard to remove themselves from public assistance and didn't make public assistance their career.
I believe that majority of Americans are middle of the road folks and are typically fiscally conservative and socially moderate. However they are a silent group, involved with the day to day chore of making their lives work for their families. The hue and cry comes from the radical minority on both sides of the equation and provides fodder for an arrogant media that thinks they know what's best for us and reports these events by omission and deception to sway an issue based on the political bent of their publisher.
I shall now climb down of my soapbox and go back to trying to keep my life in order, to pay my own way, to take care of my family and to offer a debt of gratitude and respect to those that have fought for our right to civil discourse. In parting, I am not asking to debate you or have a back and forth discussion in the editorial pages. I am merely expressing my opinion as many of you have expressed yours and it really doesn't matter to me if you like my views, but remember, I am equally entitled to have them as are you are yours. After all, my father also fought and sacrificed to defend the breadth and depth of our Constitution, not just certain parts of it.

Mayors Against Illegal Guns Pushes To Demand A Plan
Did you know that there was a group called Mayors Against Illegal Guns? While they certainly have push, and in some cases enacted, initiatives to go after illegal guns, most seemed to be aimed at putting restrictions on law abiding citizens, rather than going after the criminals who use guns to injure and kill. Because getting tough on criminals would be hard! And offend the sensibilities of liberal do-gooders, who think that criminals, such as gang bangers, should be coddled.
(TMJ4) Milwaukee mothers are being called to action in a national effort to tighten gun control laws.
"To every mother, we can not wait. We have to demand a plan," said Roxanna Green in a TV commercial running in Milwaukee.
Her daughter was killed two years ago today in the Tucson, Arizona shooting that critically injured congresswoman Gabby Giffords.
Mayors Against Illegal Guns is running a TV ad in Milwaukee to promote the "Demand a Plan" website (www.demandaplan.org ) to end gun violence.
And what do they want? Mostly the same old same old, which mostly targets law abiding citizens exercising their Constitutional Rights
- Require a criminal background check for every gun sold in America
- Ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines
- Make gun trafficking a federal crime, with real penalties for "straw purchasers"
Oh, I like that last one. It would have gotten quite a few people in the Obama administration in trouble for Operation Fast and Furious, which further same over 200 Mexican citizens and at least 2 American federal agents murdered. But, the media doesn't like to talk about that, I guess because they hate Mexicans.
Anyhow, they make it clear that 33 people are killed by guns everyday. I think most of them occur in Chicago and other gun free zones, but I could be wrong. Meanwhile, around 115 people die in car related accidents every day. We should ban them. That would make people safer. Oh, and there are approximately 3,000 babies murdered through abortion daily. We should save them.
When Mayor Barrett was in Congress he voted to ban assault rifles in 1994 but the ban expired in 2004. These days Barrett advocates for tighter gun control laws at the state and federal levels.
"To make sure people who are not legally able to get a gun, don't get a gun!"
In other words, they are coming for the law abiding citizens 2nd Amendment Rights.

Walk and Bike to School Week will be celebrated this year from May 19-23, 2014. Governor Chris Christie signed a proclamation encouraging state and local governments and school districts to promote active and healthy lifestyles by walking and bicycling to school. Students and parents all over New Jersey will be walking and bicycling to school during Walk and Bike to School Week in May.
Walk and bike to school events not only emphasize the importance of issues such as increasing physical activity and encouraging healthy lifestyles among children, but also address bicycle and pedestrian safety, traffic congestion, and concern for the environment. In addition, students who are physically active on the way to school arrive ready to learn and perform better in class. Walk and bike to school efforts also build connections between families, schools and the community.The benefits of walking and bicycling to school are abundantly clear!
Go outside to get some exercise and enjoy the beautiful spring weather! Celebrate Walk and Bike to School Week by leaving the car at home and walking or bicycling with your children to school! If your school or community is not involved in Walk and Bike to School events, and you are interested in learning more about Safe Routes to School programs for your school and community, please contact a Regional Coordinator in your area to find out how to get started! Find information on walk and bike events and how to plan walk and bike events on our website.

Letter to the Editorial: Specifically, to direct our local police depts to use LETHAL FORCE to shoot down the planes and helicopters that are threatening the health, well-being and lives of our communities with the state and federal government's ILLEGAL and HARMFUL chemical/pesticide aerial spraying campaign. It is the mandate of the local police depts to "protect and defend" the people -by FORCE of Arms- as a last resort if all other means of solving conflicts and disputes are to no avail (i.e. pending lawsuits against the state and federal governments). The local police are ones empowered BY MANDATE AND BY LAW in our communities to protect the people from internal and external violent attacks and to secure the peace and security of our cities.
They have the weapons, sophisticated arsenals to tap and the obligation and the means to protect our communities from terrorist attacks. I say lets empower them TO DO THEIR JOB. Take cue from the city of Brattleboro, Vermont- who have recently passed a resolution to ARREST George Bush and Dick Cheney if they ever set foot in their city. Rafik Shakar Santa Cruz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Voters in two Vermont towns on Tuesday approved a measure that would instruct police to arrest President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for "crimes against our Constitution", local media reported. The nonbinding, symbolic measure, passed in Brattleboro and Marlboro in a state known for taking liberal positions on national issues, instructs town police to "extradite them to other authorities that may reasonably contend to prosecute them". Vermont, home to maple syrup and picture-postcard views, is known for its liberal politics. State lawmakers have passed nonbinding resolutions to end the war in Iraq and impeach Bush and Cheney, and several towns have also passed resolutions of impeachment. None of them have caught on in Washington. Bush has never visited the state as president, though he has spent vacations at his family compound in nearby Maine. Roughly 12,000 people live in Brattleboro, located on the Connecticut River in the state's southeastern corner. Nearby Marlboro has a population of roughly 1,000. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Wounded Warrior Project, Operation Touchdown and the National Football League have partnered to encourage fans of the AFC Champion Indianapolis Colts and NFC Champion New Orleans Saints to show pride in their teams as they prepare for Super Bowl XLIV. From now until game day, fans can compete to see who can raise the most money and awareness for the Wounded Warrior Project and the severely injured service members they serve. Visit the below link to cast your vote by making a donation:
Steven Nardizzi, executive director of Wounded Warrior Project stated, "The Super Bowl is America's greatest championship game and we are extremely grateful to the NFL and Operation Touchdown for allowing us this platform to raise awareness for these brave Americans. They fought so the rest of us may watch this special game amongst family and friends as part of the many freedoms we enjoy every day."
To date, over 34,000 members of our nation's armed forces have been physically wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. Studies estimate that more than 300,000 will suffer from the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury. These injuries are often devastating, leaving a formerly active young man or woman unable to care for themselves. While grateful for their return, the round-the-clock care required to treat these wounded warriors often falls on their families, giving caregivers no choice but to leave their

By the time of the Armistice in 1918, some 6.5 million prisoners of war were held by the belligerents. Little has been written about these prisoners, possibly because the story is not one of unmitigated hardship and cruelty. Nevertheless, hardships did occur and the alleged neglect and ill-treatment of prisoners captured on the Western Front became the subject of major propaganda campaigns in Britain and Germany as the war progressed.

Help! First time DIY-er and I am refinishing a table for my wife. I used a rotary sander and smoothed everything out...felt nice and smooth, but after I applied the first coat of stain I noticed circular scratch marks all over the table! |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Thu, Jun 6, 13 at 19:59
Yeah, you screwed up with a rotary. You always want to use a palm sander, and with the grain. Or a block sander with the grain. The grit you need to sand with again will depend on how deep the scratches are. If you started with 80, they're probably pretty deep, and you will probably need to start with at least 80 again. And hope there are no veneers involved. |
- Posted by sombreuil_mongrel (My Page) on Sat, Jun 8, 13 at 8:37
It only takes one stray grit particle from a coarse paper to ruin the sanding when using a ROS. For pine it's usually not an issue, but on cherry (in particular) it can be a disaster. To fix it, I'd start with a cabinet scraper which will get the swirls out faster than sanding. Then block sand, by hand, with the grain, with 220. A cabinet scraper does require a learning curve for both sharpening and usage, but it's a miraculous little device. Casey |

.- The Vatican announced today that its annual Christmas concert, scheduled for December 3rd, will be dedicated this year to the support of Catholic missions in east Asia.
The Vatican's traditional Christmas concert will be held in the Paul VI Hall at 6.30 p.m. on Saturday, December 3. This year it will be dedicated to missions in the east.
A Holy See communique, released earlier today, stated that the concert aims "to raise public awareness concerning the question of the Church's missionary vocation and to gather funds to support missions in east Asia."
The Vatican noted that one reason for this particular theme is that "2006 has been proclaimed as the 'Xavierian Year' (in honor of the patron of missions St. Francis Xavier, on the fifth centenary of his birth), of which the concert will officially mark the opening."
The concert, which will be held in the Paul VI Hall, will include various pieces from a new musical on the life of the saint called, "Xavier - dreaming of China."
The Jesuit saint traveled to China on his last missionary journey but fell ill on the island of Sancian, 100 kilometers off the Chinese coast. He died there on December 3, 1552.
A global range of artists will descend on Rome to take part in the concert which, according to today's statement, symbolizes "the encounter between a diversity of countries, cultures, religions, life experiences, ideals, and musical genres and styles…in order to highlight once again the universality of the Church."

"This bread is now my new banana bread recipe! We all loved it!! It\'s recipes like this one that make me feel proud when I\'m done baking! I added walnuts instead of chocolate chips just because I love walnuts in banana bread and I\'m not a big fan of chocolate chips. It was wonderful! Thanks for sharing this recipe with us!"
"These were good. I like that they were not too sweet and my kids liked them too. I made them with walnuts and that was my favorite part. The flavors went well together."
"Unlike other raters, I did not change a thing ao add a thing to this recipe. These pancakes were just ok. Not the best but not the worst I've ever had. They were quite heavy and the batter was thick enough that it doesn't even pour. I'm not sure how to describe it, but I was a bit disappointed. The flavor was fine though. "
"I've been looking for a zucchini bread recipe that would taste as good as the ones my grandmother used to make. This is the one!Thank you!I added chopped walnuts and followed the recipe exactly. My kids were not so eager to try "zucchini" since I never by it because I hate it myself. But for some reason, I always loved zucchini bread. They tri..."
"These cookies are sooooo good! I made them 2 days ago and if I hear "Mom!!! Can I have another cookie?!" One more time I may never make them again.(No, I will make them again!) All of the sudden dessert follows breakfast and lunch in my house? Hahaha Thanks for sharing!"
"These were great! I made 10 mini ones as a side instead of as the main dish. I also added fresh black pepper, a little cayenne pepper and lemon zest just because I knew we would like those flavors. I topped each one with a spray of lemon juice and a spoon of my tartar sauce (mayo, relish, lemon juice/zest, cayenne, dill). My whole family loved the..."
"I was so impressed with this idea! They were YUMMY and addictive! I think next time we should try dipping mini marshmallows to make little ones you can eat by the handfull!"
"This was FANTASTIC! I am going to bottle this spice mix! I made whole snapper and chicken (I won't eat eyeball and bone in fish). My DH said the snapper was the best fish he's had in a long time and the boys and I were thrilled with the chicken. I'm so glad I tried this recipe! Thanks so much! "

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[Analytical & Intelligence Comments] RE: AQAP and the Vacuum of Authority in Yemen
Released on 2012-10-18 17:00 GMT

It would seem that if al-Qaeda on the Arabian Peninsula did find a new,
safer haven in Yemen, due to the collapse of Saleh, then there would be
concern that we'd have to "take care" of that threat, because forces in the
U.S. conservative camp would excoriate President Obama if he failed to do so.
On the other hand, one might assume that AQAP leaders are scattered
purposefully, in an effort to make American targeting of their core cadre,
more difficult.
It was interesting that Anwar al-Awlaki challenged jihadists across the
world to strike @ United States targets in small ways v. spectacular attacks.
The single most salient feature of that charge is that angry young
Arab-Americans or Muslim-Americans might have more access to semi-automatic
weapons, even semi-automatic hand guns. Attacks against targets such as Rep.
Gabby Gifford, & any number of other "single crazy shooter" could be just in
that vein of thought.
With some younger Arab-American males and Muslim-American males smarting
under Rep. Peter King's hearings on the profile of the American-Arab/Muslim
community's loyalty, only a few angry enough to strike out could further
ignite that cycle. If it became a self-perpetuating cycle, then that's a
dangerous trend that we can ill afford. A cycle of attack, killings,
roundups, more questions about Muslim's loyalty in the U.S. could accelerate
motivation for something bigger.
Just being able to foment that kind of action against American soft
targets would make al-Awlaki more dangerous.
I wonder how much evidence there is currently to American Intelligence
Agencies which point to AQAP's "political arm" v. militant terror arm on
keeping the pot stirred in Yemen. It would seem that if any cadre of
leadership is "tainted" and corrupt, on the spectrum stretching from Tunisia
>> Egypt >>Jordan >>Yemen>>Algeria>>Bahrain, Yemen's leader is badly flawed.
One wonders, too, if any of the special units trained by the U.S. as
counter terrorism or security forces for Saleh, were double agents? Even a
few well-trained double agents, ambitious to become more powerful themselves
by turning over any & all information they have on the Saleh government,
could become key operatives inside AQAP.
Of course, they could also present themselves as betraying Saleh, while @ the
same time, be working for the U.S.
In the scheme of things, this is just one more item on the priority list
for the U.S. intelligence apparatuses. The key importance of Yemen in
proximity to the Horn of Africa & the Arabian Sea could mean it would gain in
importance if it became a haven for pirates, or, a magnet for more jihadists
to flock to for opportunities to commit jihad. A very dicey proposition,
indeed, for the Obama Administration.

Latest update : 2010-12-15
Hacker group Anonymous launches a new operation in support of Wikileaks
Hacker group Anonymous launches a new operation in support of Wikileaks. Students at the University of Puerto Rico protest against a proposed tuition fee. And a collective of photographers document the effects of the financial crisis on America.
Following on from Operation "Payback", here's Operation "Leakspin". In this online video, Anonymous announces a change of strategy. After having attacked companies considered as enemies of Wikileaks, this group of computer hackers is now encouraging web users to circulate as many documents leaked on Julian Assange's web site as possible.
This blog has been set up for the new operation and invites Wikileaks supporters to carry out their own investigation work on the diplomatic cables. Objective: disclose the information concealed by the media and flood the web with their findings.
This page explains how this sort of participative journalism will work. Web users must send in an article to the site, based on one of the memos. The text will then undergo a validation process before being submitted to the general public, who will be able to contribute their own amendments.
And a ranking system has been set up on community based web site Reddit. Web users can use this tool to vote for the diplomatic memos they find the most interesting.
Other projects are also being set up in support of Wikileaks. Over 600 000 people across the globe have signed this online petition which was launched by NGO Avaaz to denounce the repression of Wikileaks, and what they perceive to be an attack on freedom of expression.
And finally a « Black Saturday » is planned for the 18th of December when web users will be asked to replace their profile picture on social networks with a black background as a sign of support for Wikileaks and Julian Assange.
Police officers positioned at the entrance to UPR, Puerto Rico University. This is what students in this Free State associated with the United States have been facing since last week. This police intervention comes after angry students carried out an eventful 2 day occupation of the university building. They are protesting against a proposed 800 dollar annual inscription fee due to be introduced in January, and are demanding the authorities retract their decision.
The president of UPR, Jose Ramon de la Torre, believes this police presence at the university is necessary and explains in this video that he requested it as a means to restore order and also, and more importantly to protect the lives of students and professors.
But some members of the teaching body are far from happy with these measures. On her blog, law professor Erika Torres, says she completely disagrees with this decision and believes that the university's identity is now under threat.
And students have also been responding to the situation. On the site 80grados.net, one student group has issued a communiqué calling for students to boycott the University until the police have been removed.
And as people wait for campus to return to normal, mobilisation against the additional fee is not dying down. Students are now planning to increase peaceful demonstrations like this one to demonstrate their commitment to free access to a university education. And they are also asking the entire country to join their combat in messages posted on sharing sites.

Work is well underway to change Packington's Siblings into two new pleasure/match waters each with a central island. Excavation and re-shaping work is expected to be completed by early spring and will be followed by re-seeding and restocking. The two new waters are expected to open for angling in mid-summer. Both waters will be stocked with a mix of common, mirror and F1 carp, tench and skimmer bream with fishing on the 13-peg pool furthest from the entrance being from the island. The other pool will have 20 pegs and both will have 13 metres of water in front of each peg.
Both waters will be stocked with a mix of common, mirror and F1 carp, tench and skimmer bream with fishing on the 13-peg pool furthest from the entrance being from the island. The other pool will have 20 pegs and both will have 13 metres of water in front of each peg.
A well established former gravel pit complex in the heart of the 'Meriden Gap' Green Belt between Birmingham and Coventry, Packington Somers largest water is the 60-peg Molands Mere which has carved itself a niche as one of the most successful match and pleasure waters in the Midlands. Indeed, in 2009 it hosted the Sensas International Final as well as the Drennan 'All Winners' Final, the Drennan 'Superleague' Final, round two of the Match Fishing magazine Cup and a qualifier for the Mavers 'Pairs'.
As well as some of the UK's top matches, Packington also holds its own regular Open Matches every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Full details of these can be obtained by telephoning the fishery.
In addition to the first-class match fishing there is excellent pleasure angling for carp to just over 20lbs as well as quality tench, bream, crucians, perch and roach, whilst Packington Somers' nearby 'sister' fishery offers specimen carp synidate waters and one of the region's best stillwater trout fisheries.
Packington has a purpose-built fishing lodge (left) which incorporates a tackle shop, cafe and toilets for both able-bodied and disabled visitors. The lodge is permanently manned and serves everything required for a good day's angling from full English breakfasts, burgers, hot and cold refreshments and snacks to good advice, terminal tackle and baits. Environment Agency rod licences are also available in the fishing lodge.
Whilst there is a large car park near the lodge, non-members can drive their cars into the fishery and park in one of the many designated areas near the lakes for an additional payment of £2.00.
Match bookings are available on Gearys, Molands, Little Gearys and Gratuities. The other pools are for pleasure angling only.
All in all it is not surprising that Packington Somers has become one of the Midlands' premier venues being a well-established gravel pit complex which has been sympathetically developed over many years into a natural-looking and mature fishery offering a range of day, half-day, evening and season tickets.
Developed from a former 10-acre gravel pit in 2000, it has an average depth of seven feet with a large irregular shaped island running along the centre which provides nearly every peg with a feature to fish to. The luxuriant bankside vegetation also means that most anglers can't see the person in the next peg.
Although the water is suitable for most methods of fishing, most anglers opt for the pole although feeder and waggler fishing are both also popular. All swims offer at least 25 metres of water to the island.
The current record match weight stands at 164lbs and was taken on open-ended feeder and pellet by Roger Atkins during one of the Winter League series of matches in December 2008. Fishing Peg 46, Roger had a bag of 35 carp to win the match and set a new lake record.
The predominant species are in Molands are carp and tench with the carp running to 15lbs and the tench to 8lbs. Molands also holds good head of bream to about 8lbs, a lot of crucian carp some of which run to over 3lbs, as well as good stocks of roach and perch.
Before the start of the 2009 season, fish stocks were supplemented with the addition of a further 2000 F1 carp averaging about 8oz in weight.
Access is good all around the lake with a circular roadway and pathways to all pegs making the water popular with disabled anglers. Also, with at least 15 yards between each peg this is a 'comfortable' venue to fish.
Offering 13 pegs and reserved for pleasure anglers with only the occasional match being held on it, Willow Pool is well stocked with some decent sized hard fighting carp averaging 2lbs to 3lbs but running to double figures, tench averaging 2lbs but going to 5lbs, crucians to 1lb, skimmers to 2lbs and roach to 1lb.
A very consistent 'bites' water, Willow is served by its own car park and popular with anglers who don't want to fish the bigger Modlands Mere. It is therefore favoured by those who are looking for a smaller, more intimate water, being an attractive pool with plenty of bankside vegetation and beds of water weed to fish to as well as more open water swims.
Regarded as a reliable water which consitently throws up good catches, Willow is a good long pole and waggler venue favoured to smaller baits such as caster, sweetcorn, luncheon meat and pellet fished under a float all being good ways to catch. Larger expander pellets often account for the bigger fish.
With plenty of trees, shrubs, reeds and lilies, these intimate pools hold a maximum of six anglers - although up to 11 anglers can be accommodated on the slightly larger Crescent Pool.
Whichever one you choose, they are all ideal for pleasure anglers wanting a spot of solitude whilst at the same time offering excelllent sport. Whichever one you choose they are all worth a visit.
No more than five feet deep in the centre, they are ideal for younger anglers because they offer lots of bites on small baits such as maggot and casters. The pools are also good for fishing sweetcorn, luncheon meat and small 4mm expander pellets on the hook. Float fishing the pole or waggler close into the steeply shelving sides is a particularly effective method for catching fish.
Eight acres in size but with only 42 pegs, every angler has the opportunity to fish a variety of methods for a variety of species from large, open water swims to more intimate tree-lined bays.
Once again, carp are the predominant species but, despite the size of the water, the majority average only about 4lbs, although specimens to double figures are taken regularly. The largest carp known to have been saught was a 21lb common.
Indeed, the smaller carp to 4lbs make up the bulk of match weights with the current lake record standing at 149lbs.
Increasing numbers of bream are also starting to show with fish to 4lbs now regularly being taken. These are in addition to good shoals of skimmer bream with a lot of individual fish weighing in between 1lb and 2lbs.
Despite its size Geary's is a fairly shallow water being only four feet deep out from most pegs, although about five feet can be found off the high bank pegs numbers 1 to 15.
About 70 yards out from some of the high bank pegs there are also markers which show where a gravel bar runs about two feet under the surface. This is a popular area for catching the carp.
Popular pegs tend to be those in the middle of the high bank from Peg 7 through to 13; Pegs 16 to 19 and Pegs 30 to 36.
Nearly all techniques work well on this water although fishing the Method Feeder, straight lead with a pellet bait or fishing the pole are the three most popular. 8mm hard coarse pellets, luncheon meat, dead maggots and bread are all popular and succesful baits.
However, many anglers become preoccupied with catching carp on this water and ignore the large heads of roach, rudd, bream and tench that can be caught, often very close in, with maggots, caster and pellets fished on the float.
The lake is open for club matches, although there is a minimum booking of 20 pegs at weekends. Clubs which book over 30 pegs get the whole lake to themselves. In addition, regular Open Matches are held mid-week and at weekends which always prove popular.
As Fishery Manager John Burchell says: "If there was a national rod caught record for F1s, I think Little Geary's would have it!"
In addition, there good numbers of tench to 4lbs, roach, bream, rudd and crucian carp.
For the most part the pool is between six and eight feet deep and is consistantly a productive winter venue. Pole and waggler are the best methods, particularly when fished in conjunction with pellet, sweetcorn, maggot or caster.
Because it is the furthest water from the entrance, anglers are allowed to drive up to the car park alongside the pool.
Match bookings are taken for clubs of up to 25 anglers and the match record currently stands at 135lbs, taken by Fish O'Mania winner Mick Bull from Peg 28 in 2007.
Between four and six feet deep with gently sloping sides which run down to a channel between the bank and the island, the water holds a good head of carp to 5lbs with a large number of small fish ranging between 12oz and 1lb 8oz; roach to 1lb; tench to 6lbs and a good number of crucians to 1lb 8oz. There are also a large head of skimmers.
Grats fishes best either close to the bank or up against the central island using either pole, waggler or small open ended feeder.
Popular baits include pellets, sweetcorn, luncheon meat and maggots although anglers are advised to go easy on the groundbait.
Grats can be found at the bottom end of Molands Mere and can be reached by taking the track to the left as you enter the Packington Somers complex.
With irregular shaped islands which are dotted around the water, Annies is as one of the most feature-packed of the Packington waters offering swims which vary from open water to channels between the banks and the island to sheltered tree-clad bays where anglers can hide away in seclusion from the remainder of the water.
Indeed, nearly every peg offers a feature to fish to and being only five feet deep at the most it is an easy water to fish whether float fishing on the pole or waggler, or fishing more open water on ledger tackle.
Most anglers prefer the pole or waggler fished either tight to one of the islands where about one-and-a-half feet of water can be found on the shelves, or when it is quieter close into the marginal reeds and bankside vegetation where patrolling fish can be picked up.
At two-and-a-half acres in size, Annies regularly throws up good catches with popular baits being coarse fish pellets, sweetcorn and luncheon meat for the carp and sweetcorn, maggots and casters for the silver fish.
Those going after the carp are increasingly using modern carping techniques with pellets, boilies, sweetcorn and meats being the most popular baits for fishing on the bottom and floating bread and dog biscuits the favoured option for floater fishing on the surface in warmer weather when it often pays to go with a minimum of tackle and stalk fish which can be seen cruising in all parts of the water.
Annies is reserved exclusively for pleasure anglers.
With dace to 12oz, chub averaging between 2lbs and 3lbs but running to 6lbs, perch over 1lb and the occasional summer carp which have been caught to 10lbs, this stretch of river also holds tench, bream, rudd and more recently a small number of barbel which have now been caught to 4lbs.
Most anglers fish with a light Arlesey Bomb (quarter to half ounce) or trot the water with a stick float. Whichever you choose, look for the holes and deeper stretches which can be up to eight feet at the downstream end of the river.
Popular baits include worms, maggots, casters and bread.
From M42, leave the motorway at the junction with the A45 and turn right towards Coventry. After about a mile take the slip road to the left at the Malt Shovel pub and at the island head right towards Warwick. Turn left at the next island, signed Meriden. You will see the entrance to the fishery and golf club a couple of hundred yards along this road on the left. Drive past the caravan park and the golf club and you will see the fishery car park and lodge at the end of the track.

'Fearless' teenager recalls Kilimanjaro trek
A Kilimanjaro trek held no fear for a teenager from Berkshire, who said she welcomed the challenge of scaling one of the world's highest peaks.
Speaking to Get Wokingham, 19-year-old Kirsten A'Bear said the 2007 Tanzania holiday took place as part of a trip with Kendrick School.
She explained that the jaunt was organised as part of the World Challenge, which also involved scaling nearby Mount Meru.
Ms A'Bear revealed she was "not content" with summiting one peak, prompting the decision to go on a Kilimanjaro trek.
Although the cold temperatures were hard to deal with and she had to wear an oxygen mask at one stage, the adventurous youngster claimed she took it all in her stride.
"At no stage of the climb was I frightened. In fact my confidence was so good that I was nominated to help ferry other people across the difficult parts," Ms A'Bear remarked.
Those keen to follow in the teenager's footsteps should opt for The Adventure Company's Peaks of Tanzania trip.
It includes a Kilimanjaro trek and chance to scale Mount Meru, along with the opportunity to view wildlife in the Ngorongoro Crater.
We offer some exciting choices of Tanzania holidays for you to discover

CHURUBUSCO ŌĆö Smith-Green Community SchoolŌĆÖs board meeting was well attended Monday, as Interim Superintendent Ralph Bailey presented his solution to the near-half a million dollarsŌĆÖ worth of budget cuts.
ŌĆ£No one loves the person who has to make the budget,ŌĆØ Bailey said. ŌĆ£I am the one responsible for it and I take that very seriously.ŌĆØ
Bailey told of the months working with Business Manager Todd Fleetwood.
ŌĆ£This is nothing IŌĆÖm happy about, but small schools are losing funding ŌĆō thanks to the government,ŌĆØ Bailey said.
Many of the suggestions received regarding the budget cuts were shared.
Bailey explained how much money the proposed idea would save, but in total the ideas just did not cover the amount SGCS needs to cut.
Through large cuts in recent years, the district had managed to cope with the change and not let the cuts affect the staff. But those cuts, coupled with 92 percent of SGCSŌĆÖs expenditures being salary and benefits, there was little choice remaining. Bailey recommended cutting three teachers.
ŌĆ£If the board does not accept my recommendation, I will be packing up tomorrow morning, because you donŌĆÖt want a superintendent ŌĆö you want someone you can tell what to do,ŌĆØ Bailey said.
Bailey went on to say he was not threatening the board members, but felt he had done his job ethically and with the best intentions. ŌĆ£If the board is not going to trust me, I donŌĆÖt want to be superintendent.ŌĆØ

This was my as second dining experience with Blythswood square and I was not disappointed. Despite husband being late, the restaurant moved my booking sand made sure we were fed in time to catch the theatre. Husband was impressed with the quality and value for money. All round a win win
Been twice now to the restaurant off the back of the ITISON Lunch offer which are excellent value for money and on both occasions the food has been absolutely fantastic. Lovely ambience and very attentive waiters, will be back!
Had fantastic afternoon tea with my mum and daughter on mothers day. food delicious and service truly amazing!! cannot recommend enough x
Just had the lovely small plates with 3 friends, I would describe them as not so small, but pretty generous! Staff are very professional and friendly, great atmosphere. I always look forward to visiting.
Anytime there is a deal offered by ITISON for the Market Square lunch my family consisting of four senior citizens always take this opportunity. None of us come from Glasgow but we make the effort to visit especially for this deal which we all think is aboslutley excellent. It's not only great value for money but the staff, service and attention given by every member of staff involved is 1st class, can not fault anything a all.

House Speaker shuts door on proposal to scrap VAT on oil
-A A +ASaturday, March 24, 2012
MANILA -- Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. said proposals pending before the House of Representatives seeking the removal of value-added tax (VAT) on oil products are "not going to get anywhere."
This was the position of the House leader despite the continuing increase in oil prices.
Progressive groups have earlier said oil prices have increased nine times in the past three months.
"It's going to start with oil, later on with medicines and then later on basic commodities and food. It took a long time to get this far, a lot of sacrifices. I think it's still on the right track," Belmonte said.
In 2005, VAT was increased to 12 percent and expanded to include oil and basic commodities. This was the government's response to the fiscal crisis of 2004.
"We are having a problem on oil now but this is really up and down thing…VAT is something that has been found beneficial all over the world," Belmonte asserted.
Bayan Muna Representative Teddy Casino, one of several lawmakers seeking to scrap VAT on petroleum products, said the House leadership is "Noynoying" on the measures filed in Congress.
Groups have earlier coined the term "Noynoying" to describe the inaction of the Aquino government on rising oil prices.
"My challenge is, let's talk about it formally in the committee level. Let's debate on the merits of the proposal and see what can be done. They (House leaders) don't want to talk about it just because the President doesn't want it," Casino said in a text message.
"Meanwhile, there is a strong clamor for the VAT on oil's reduction or removal. Who is our boss anyway, the President or the Filipino people?" Casino added. (Kathrina Alvarez/Sunnex)
